It’s been a summer of huge activity on the transfer front for Newcastle United.

Manager Rafa Benitez has wasted no time in reshaping his squad following relegation from the Premier League, with no less than eight signings through the door before the season kicked off.

The window doesn’t shut until the end of the month, and the Spaniard is believed to want to add even more new faces to his squad as he looks to guide the Magpies back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Some players have left, of course, with the money raised by the departures of Andros Townsend, Gini Wijnaldum and Papiss Cisse helping the Magpies to reinvest so heavily in July.

Moussa Sissoko is expected to head out of St James’ too, meaning yet more money for Benitez to deal with, while the likes of Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini are also off the wage bill.
